COMPARATIVE INTEGRATION: A BRIEF ANALYSIS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU) AND THE ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES (ECOWAS)

Abstract

Author(s): Michael M. OGBEIDI

This paper attempts to compare the European Union and the Economic Community of West African States. It contends that economic integration has the potential to enhance the relative strength of the integrating economies in their bargaining with other economic groupings in the world. It however frowns at the indiscriminate implementation by the Economic Community of West African States of ideas and theories borrowed from the European experience without recourse to West Africa’s peculiar socio-economic and historical problems.
